KILLED HIS FAMILY.
The Awful Crime Of a Weaver in
Connecticut.

John HodeI. a silk weaver of TurnerviIle
Conn. shot and killed his wife, and, setting
fire TO his house, snlothered his two children,
Wednesday morning. The people of the
village observed smoke escaping from the
roof of the house and went in to put out
the blaze: They discovered that Mrs
Eodel had been tied TO bed and shot
and that the husband, who was probably the
murderer, had fed While the posse went
out to hunt for Hodel the people suddenly
remembered that the two children had not
been seen On going to their room. the little
ones were discovered in bed. One of the
boys lived a short time, the other had been
smothered.
The excitement in the village as soon as
these facts became known was intense, and
the Indignation of the citizens found vent in
threats to lynch the inhdman wretch. The
man was finally found by the town Constable
and placed under arrest He cannot
said that he and his wife made an
agreement by which he was to kill her and
the boys and then kill himself. He said that
he had tied his wife in the bedroom and
then shot her, and had afterwards set fire
to the house to burn up the boys. He
would have killed himself, but he broke the
gun HOdel and his wife quarreled over a COW
they have heard them quarreIing frequently
since. Hodel had been drunk for several
days He was committed to the Tolland
County Jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
Hodel is thirty-five years of age His wife
was about the same age, and the two boys,
Jacob and AdOlph, were three and six, re-
Spectively. He has not heen in this country
very long, and says that he had just sent $50
to his father in Switzerland to repay
money borrowed for passage to this coun-
try. At the preliminary hearing the inter
prefer testified that Hodel acknowledged that
had burned the house. Hodel, however,
pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder

ACROSS THE WIRES.
Events of Importance Flashed
Over the Telegraph.
Mexican Bandits Create a Reign Of
Terror On the Rio Grande.

a reign OF terror exists in the up-river
border counties of Texas, between Edinburg
and Roma, the result of the shocking depre-
dations of Mexican bandits Since the.abduc-
ton of Senior Barara, whose friends had to
pay 81 100 ransom, almost every merchant
has received threatening letters ordering pay
ment of heavy sums on the penalty OF alb
duction and torture. The wealthy never
travel without heavy guard The border
SheriHs, who are poorly paid, are doing what
they can with their Deputies, to hunt the rob
bers down, and a small force of rangers has
been sent by Governor Ross to Bio Grande
City, but it is feared that the whole force IS
not strong enough to round the bandits up IN
such a long extent of wild bottom
and wooden country. District Judge
j. G. Russell who Is large ranch owner
in Stair County, acknowledged that the civil
authorities were unable to cope with the
matter. In the meantime the bandits are
continuing their work. On Monday, at high
noon, they entered the Havana Ranch, in Hi
dalgO County, place of about 800 habltantS,
surrounded the store of Magdileno Flores,
drove the occupants out, and robbed the
place of every bit Of goods it conta ined.
the windows, and threatened to re-
turn and sack and burn every house
in the place The band numbered twenty
one men. The day before another party of
bandits, about twenty strong, attacked the
Attasosca Ranch, on the San Juan river, a
few miles above Camargo, Mexico, and
sacked the place, abusing and outraging the
people. They were pursued by Mexican
cavalry under Captain Lamadrido, and
Plasuelas, a leader, and another bandit were
secured. Plasuelas was executed at Camargo
and the other will suffer the same fate
Lamadride, an active officer has at
his command all the men that he
wants.. and gets step in rank for
every bandit captured. President Diaz
has ordered that the severest measures be
used to put down banditage the border,

the American authorities, aud drive out and

of Tamaulipas are very lukewarm. Their

bandit, and the murderer of Sheriff Martin
of Stair County, who was sent to the fortress
of San Juan de Ulloa, at Vera Cruz, and are
trying to excite a sentiment among the
people in favor of the wretches and against
the party oil law and order.

Reckoning forty nine lives lost with the
steamer Vernon l32 persons were drowned
from vessels in October the great lakes. If
all these losses could be thoroughly inve5ti-
gated, says dispatch, there is every reason
to believe that it would be found that the di-
rect cause of more than One-half of them was
overlooking. Nine times out of ten disasters
that are attributed to n stress of weath her are
really from carrying too much cargo
Never in the history of the lake marine has
the dangerous practice of overlooking YES
sells been carried TO such an extreme as this
season.
